How many SD cards have you bricked?
grippie:
Good to hear that there are a bunch of positive results with not bricking. It was so nice... i plugged it in and it worked beautifully only to have it go blank when i power cycled it.
I have a few 16gb cards i use for my tablet and modded PSP but i don't want to use those as they are way overkill. I'll head up to the store and get one today. best buy has some cheap 8GB ones on sale. Maybe i'll order a few backups off of amazon too.

Just chiming in, because the only SD card I had crap out on me was a cheap Best Buy one. Decent cards are cheap if you look for them in the right places, why not go for a little overkill? 8)
Also, those cheap best buy ones are usually not class 10, I don't touch anything under the 10 speed anymore after I noticed some lag on my video camera.
Newegg has a g.skill 32gb micro SD for $9 today, and a 64gb for $17. Both class 10 speed.

Maybe consider getting an upgrade for your tablet card, and use your 16gb.

I'd stay away from Kingston cards. They seem to do a little more creative calculation than others when it comes to specifying capacity. SanDisk has been fine.
grippie:
Thanks for the advice guys.
I bought one of these today. I'm not usually a huge fan of sandisk but their midrange cards are pretty solid from what i've experienced.
It is the ultra version and not the base version, i was hoping that it would help with reliability.
grippie:
Holy Crap. That other card I had must have been a class 0 because this new card finished the disk imaging in about 35 seconds. The other card i tried took about 1/2 hour to do the 2 GB retropie image...
